Is anyone applying?
I really hope I get accepted to go next summer (2016)!
Share your experiences here!
Congrats to everyone who got to go this summer!
Hey. I am currently a YES abroad alternate. I applied for NSLI-Y and YES abroad this year. If I do not get accepted for this impending year through yes, I will be applying for YES, NSLI-Y and CBYX.
Hey! Im applying for a year program next year! I was rejected from nsliy and yes last year and ill be too old for everything besides nsliy year programs next year, so this should be fun. What languages are you guys going for?
@itstricky Cool! Good luck this year! I’m going to apply for Russian summer, with Arabic summer as my second choice. What about you?
@coder14 Good luck!
@languagewitch I’m going for Hindi year, I don’t really know what my second or third choice will be though. Do you think you will apply to any of the other programs?
@itstricky I’m just looking for summer programs, and besides NSLIY (which is year and summer), all the other programs are for year only. 
Do you know any other summer programs like this?
Cool, Hindi! Have you had any previous experience with it? Why do you want to learn it?
@languagewitch I think you can try for the YLP’s right? I don’t really know how those work i just always see them on the exchanges.state.gov website. I actually just started studying Hindi pretty recently, Its just super pretty and underestimated I guess. What about you with Russian and Arabic?
is it too late to join in? I applied for nsli-y and am currently a year alternate. Im having some 2nd thoughts on my placement and if there is a chance so just to be safe I want to join this forum to prep myself for the next round. :)>-
Hi guys! I know this is a stupid question, but I’m a bit confused with the application process. I want to study abroad in the summer of 2017, when would be the time to apply?
@Lemons2000 You’d apply in fall 2016.
@Lemons2000 yeah all applicants for year and summer apply at the same time. So you just apply when the application comes out.
@cnuprincess Hey! Sorry i havent been keeping an eye on this forum at all but its definitely never to late to join. (That is, if your still an alternate) What country did you end up being an alternate for?
Hello people.
Im planning to apply for this program for next summer (2016 Summer)
Do you guys know how competitive this program is? (In terms of acceptance rate in %)
@bboyinmartin nsliy is fairly competitive, the amount of applicants tends to fluctuate every year so its hard to give out any precentages until they tell us about the applicant pool. I do believe that theres about 600 spots and last year there was like 3,300 applicants.
Does anyone know what the most popular summer language choices will be for 2016-2017 or atleast what it’s been in the past?
@deedle13 i do believe that the most popular summer language is usually chinese.
I am really eager to apply for the summer Arabic program in 2016, does anyone know when the application will come out? I have signed up to receive the email when it does, but I was wondering if anyone knows the approximate date the application will be released. Thanks!
@nickmont the application usually comes out late august/ early september. So very soon!
Thanks! Can’t wait!
Hi! I’ll be applying for the 2016 China summer program. I’m so impatient, I’m really looking forward to applying this September! For which programs are you guys planning to apply?
